Internal DNS address for Google Cloud internal load balancers

Question

According to this documentation page , every VM instance has a DNS entry of the following form:

hostName.c.[PROJECT_ID].internal

This would look something like:

redis.c.myproject.internal

I want to know if there is an equivalent for internal load balancers. Looking at the documentation , there doesn't seem to be anything, but that looks like a pretty big oversight.

So, is there a way to access an internal LB in GCP via a DNS entry?

Answer 1

There is no entry in the GCE DNS metadata server for LBs. There is an open feature request for this at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35904974 . You can Star that request to signal your interest and subscribe to updates.

Answer 2

Now you can do this with Cloud DNS

Create Zone and then add your IP, it can be anything from VM to LB. whatever you want to resolve under VPC.
